The stat that jumps out at me is that we only had 7 turnovers for the entire game. Â I can\'t remember a game offhand with that few. Â I think its safe to say we would have lost if we had had our "normal" 12-13 turnovers.
Nneka had just 3 rebounds, although Chiney and Kayla did much better. Â As I expected, NC blocked some shots inside and it seemed to rattle Nneka in the first half. Â We were having a hard time getting entrance passes.
I am very fearful about the Gonzaga game.  Jeanette seems to be in an offensive funk the last four games.  Jeanette was 3-7 on three pointers when we played Gonzaga in November, while tonight she was 0-7.  When we played  Gonzaga they had an off day shooting just 35%, while tonight Gonzaga shot 44%.  That game rebounds were even and the score was tied with 5 minutes left.  What iced the game for us and put them away were two consecutive 3 pointers by Jeanette.
We are either going to need much better entrance passing to our O-team--or we are going to have to break out of our 3 point funk. Â Hopefully the entrance passes will be easier against Gonzaga than they were against NC.
Who did we use to guard Vandersloot in November? Â She had 24 points and 10 assists then, and she seems to have upped her game in the last few months. Â Will the job of slowing her down fall to Jeanette? Â Gonzaga had 3 guards in double figures against us last time.
